Overview

Our Gin tour and tasting is located in a truly unique location. We are based in the heart of The Rocks in Sydney, almost under the iconic Harbour Bridge.
Hickson House Gin has won gold medals at the most prestigious spirits shows, with every product having picked up a gold medal.
The distillery itself it built in a historic bond building that used to house goods sent to Australia from all over the world. One of Australia's largest and oldest gantry cranes was located in the building and the steel girders holding up the building are the same used in the building of the Harbour Bridge under which we are located.
The tour itself starts with a Gin & Tonic before heading into the distillery to learn about the gin production process.
Head back into our award-winning bar and enjoy a tasting of our multi award winning gin range.
Hickson House also features a full bar and dining room to enjoy while spending some time with us.

We found the gin tour very informative and interesting. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, she took her time to explain the background of the whole process. The gin tasting at the end of the tour was very nice. All over a good experience and lovely atmosphere.

I did not realise that there is a distillery right in the city! This at the Rocks! My friend and I were greeted with a complimentary gin and tonic which was rather refreshing. The tour was rather short but enjoyable. We then had a tasting of four different types of gin using recipes of local botanicals. Well explained and we had a great time tasting.

My daughter bought this for me as a Christmas present..well worth whatever she paid for, for this gin lover! Given a lovely refreshing tall glass of gin and tonic on arrival. The young lady who gave us the tour( forgotten her unusual name!) was thorough in her explanation of gin making. We were given 4 different gins to try - wouldn’t be driving after though! Just over an hour, but we could stay there for as long as we wanted without any pressure of us drinking up and going. There was a menu there as well if we wanted something to eat, and plenty of other spirits to chose from as well. Recommend this to anyone who likes gin, or, even if you don’t, sit back, chill out with your drink, solo or with a group of friends.
